The Car Grotto

Took me a while to find this as I was looking for the Boat Grotto. I just bought a 12 ft. boat with an old Honda outboard that wouldn’t keep running. Took it in for an estimate and Mario spent some time checking it out and talking to me about the motor. Then he told me it had a bad fuel pump and I should just buy one and put it on myself since it’s easy to do. Oh, and he didn’t even charge me anything.

The Boat Grotto and Mario are fantastic and very honest. They are fast, and will work with you on what you need done. They were recommended to me from a co-​worker and I have in turn recommended them to others. You can trust your boat with them, they will get it fixed at a reasonable price.

First off the car grotto is also called «the boat grotto» which is what I’m writing this review for. I bought an old Skipjack sportfishing boat to restore back in march and finally I’ve been making some head way! I dropped the boat off to Mario to handle the mechanical issues (which at the time I had no IDEA how jacked up the motor was until we started breaking it down). He handled everything in a very professional manor and always kept me up to date with what was going on, including sending me photos of the work that was done that day. All in all I would say he saved me around 15k between labor and parts. I would highly recommend taking your boat here to get worked on. I hope to not have to use their services again but being realistic I know I will have to and would gladly do it again!
